Notice of Intent to Lien Questions

Notice of Intent to Lien
All States
We work in many states, how do I know whether a Preliminary NOtice applies to Engineering Firms?
New JerseyI got a call from a layer stating that it's against the law to file a lien on a residential property if a homeowner has paid the GC. We were hired as subcontractors from the GC, but the GC has not paid us and refuses to pay us. So we went ahead and placed a lien on the unpaid work we did (residential home). Am I breaking the law?
PennsylvaniaTried to get an approval from the city for a homeowner
FloridaSubcontractor signed a subcontract using an old expired company name, and on the Notice to Owner as well as Notice of Intent to Lien, it's the new business name. There are accepted invoice verification and notice of assignment (listed the owner's name as well) to prove that the general contractor is aware of it's the same subcontractor. Questions:
- Are the Notice to Owner and Notice of Intent to Lien in good place?
- Would the Mechanics Lien be fine if lists the new business name?
- Would the subcontractor has lien rights after receive Notice of Default and Notice of Termination?
Thank you in advance!
ArkansasI live in Lynn Haven, Florida and a subcontractor placed a lien on my home without sending me a Notice to Owner. What are my options? I didn't think the court house could file that without the proof of notice to owner.
FloridaThis question is probably not one you are used to getting but here goes:
I see your site is primarily for general contractor's, but I am being harrassed by a Pool Service company (so she is not a GC, but rather she provides a 'service') who is threatening to put a lien on my home over $75. Her business address comes back to a UPS Store address.
She is threatening that if I don't respond to her text within 24 hours, she and her attorney (her uncle) are going to slap a lien on me. I cant find anything about the validity of her 'license' number and she did not complete the job. She quoted me one install fee ($75) while I was her customer and then doubled the install fee (to $150) after the fact when I fired her (or told her I was looking for a new pool service). I fired her because she had not completed the pool pump install after two weeks. Can she really file a lien on my home over her 'newfound' fees?
NevadaMy girlfriend purchased a vehicle from her roomate and is making payments. The seller (roomate) wants a lien as a form of contract between them for the total claim of $8,000. After reading I see that her roomate needs to send an official Notice of Intent to Lien before we get to filing this claim, so my question is how do we find the forms for the notice and thereafter for the Lien, and how much information is required since it's only involving the sale of a vehicle between private parties?
ColoradoI am a contractor who needs to terminate my sub-agreement with a designer who is under contract with the homeowner for a project. I am responsible for the removal of the popcorn ceiling throughout the unit, some skim coating/texturing work in the bathroom area, and painting throughout the unit. There is another GC who is responsible for the renovations to the rest of the bathroom and the kitchen. My reason for termination is complete and total incompetence on the part of the designer and her GC. In fact, I believe the GC has purposely sabotaged our attempts to complete our portion of the work being done.
We were first in and removed the popcorn ceiling, skim coated, and final sanded within the first four days. Since that time, I have been jerked around, lied to about progress on other components, and have been put under pressure to do things that are not in my agreement nor am i insured to do. In fact, the designer has also tried to get my worker to do things for her while I’m not there - things that I already said “no” to. This is now going on two months. I, or my worker, have shown up to continue doing our part of the contract only to find out that we were lied to and the work by the GC that needed to be done was not done.
After a nasty conversation with the designer this morning who threatened to destroy my reputation online if I walk away from the painting portion of the contract, I need to know what my options are and the proper steps to move forward. Even though my proposal was a lump sum proposal and did not break down the individual components by cost, she owes me money for the work already completed, materials which were just purchased, and trip charges for the 7 times that I showed up in the last two months to work and could not. Please point me in the right direction...
Best regards

New YorkThe Investor was planning on buying a house and I had equity invested into the house. I didn't want another company come and take the house before the deal was finished. But the Invest backed out and I want to remove the NOI and I don't know how to.

TexasOn an intent to lien do the people who are sending it file or do they just fill out the paper work and you would owe them 200.00 for this
CaliforniaIm a sub for a sub that did work on a government project on Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas Nv. The last day we worked was on was April 20th, 2019, the job was put on hold due to mold being found in the dorms . We were originally supposed to just open the fire chases and walls to give the plumber access to the cracked drain pipes and repair the opening, texture and paint to match. When we open up the fire chases we found that there was damage and holes in the walls that was done by some previous repairs, We were instructed to repair the damage and holes and to fire caulk all pipes, we were sent hand drawn drawings on how to do the repairs by Ellard Comstack who was the senior project manager at the time , i never got a change order, i just hand wrote a paper with the price and Ellard signed it as a letter of intent and I just last month went to Tuscan to get a statement from him that says Yes he did tell me to do the work. The job has now been cancelled and it will be rewritten and will have to be rebid, Northcon was not asked to return to bid that job and we instead were asked, Northcon now refuses to pay us, they owe us 58,000.00 for the extra work. They have been paid in full . What can we do ?

NevadaWe are a mold remediation company in MA and performed work in RI. Customer is refusing to pay the balance ($14K). Remediation does not require licensing or building permits; we removed moldy building materials, insulation, etc and cleaned all surfaces. Since this work does not require licensing/registration/permits, are we be able to file a mechanics lien? We do have a home improvement license in MA.
Rhode IslandA notice of intent to lien was sent to my residential property. I have no association with any of the contractors, businesses listed on said lien. Verizon Communications is listed as the property owner, while my address is listed as the property that is owned/public entity.
What is the best way to resolve this issue and have my residence removed from all association with this lien. I believe my address was noted in error.
